���񱦵� professors Noah Finkelstein of physics and Valerie Otero of education have won the 2023 Svend Pedersen Award and Lecture from Stockholm University.

���񱦵�’s Katherine K. Perkins and Valerie K. Otero cited for groundbreaking work to understand and improve science education.

���񱦵�’s PhET Interactive Simulations are providing critical support to teachers, students and parents during the COVID-19 pandemic

With the motto ‘Mother Nature needs her daughters,’ group aims to support women working in STEMM in the hope of better sustaining Earth and its people.

One goal is to increase the diversity of STEM fields by emphasizing that ‘we need to stop trying to get girls to act like boys in order to be part of the math world.’

In both the classroom and the lab, the ���񱦵� is a great place to learn physics and other natural sciences, according to the American Physical Society.

Google on Thursday announced a $1.5 million Google.org grant in support of ���񱦵�’s global STEM education project, PhET Interactive Simulations, and rent-free space for the ���񱦵�-founded National Center for Women & Information Technology.

The ���񱦵� has been chosen by the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) to help lead the SEMINAL project—a study funded by the National Science Foundation researching how to best incorporate “active learning” into math classrooms.

By creating a sense of belonging for women in physics, the ���񱦵� is helping female students succeed, experts in the field say.
